History
editIn 1999, Charles Fombrun, a professor at New York University Stern School of Business, and Cees van Riel, a professor at Rotterdam School of Management, founded Reputation Institute.[6][7][8]
In early 2020, the company changed its name to RepTrak.[1]
In early 2023, Mark Sonders became the CEO.[9]
Reputation ratings
editIn collaboration with Harris Interactive, Reputation Institute developed Reputation Quotient (RQ) in 1999.[10][11] In 2005, Reputation Institute developed the RepTrak model to replace RQ. As of 2016, RepTrak studies are conducted annually.[10][12] RepTrak analyzes corporate reputation using measures in seven dimensions: "products and services," "innovation," "workplace," "governance," "citizenship," "leadership," and "performance."[11][13][14] The company also publishes Country RepTrak which ranks the reputations of nations using three criteria: "appealing environment," "advanced economy," and "effective government."[15]
